MOVIE REVIEW - Black Widow

After being delayed by more than a year, Marvel movie highlighting Black Widow did not disappoint, as it served well of much-anticipated solo movie for the strongest woman Avenger.

Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff Black Widow

Starting by tracing Natasha Romanoff's (Scarlett Johansson) younger years, which I thought she was Alexei (David Harbour) and Melina's (Rachel Weisz) younger child because it looked like a boy, we can already sense or her strong will and strenght to protect anyone who tries to harm her family. We've already seen a part of her past in Age of Ultron but I thought we're going to see more of her growing up in the Red Room. Then after many years of being separated, and her values changed becoming an Avenger, it was not really the happiest family reunion because all of them had become weapons of the group that they serve individually.

Scarlett Johansson, David Harbour, Florence Pugh

They also acknowledged the characters that we're missing in the MCU like Captain America, Ant-Man, Iron Man and Clint Barton. Her dark past was also explained further so we're going to feel her sadness despite she being so stiff and focused on her missions. Becoming an Avenger has changed her a lot. At least we also get some humor with Yelena disowning Natasha's landing pose in every fight.


 The action scenes hightened up from the first half of the movie to the second part but I think her sky fight was breathtaking. The punches and kicks are so solid and I almost felt it. I wish it could be seen in IMAX.

Like every other Marvel movies, you have to stay until the post-credits as it may usher another chapter in the MCU. Scarlett Johansson has given her best performance as Black Widow and this exit was a great achievement for her and the MCU. Her character will surely be missed. Kudos!

Searching for a bigger show in SING 2

Illumination, the maker of Minions and Despicable Me series, released the trailer of the beloved fable-talent search entitled Sing 2 which is scheduled to be released this Christmas.

The trailer begins with a lemur's creepy performance that made producer Jimmy Crystal (Bobby Cannavale) freak out as he sets up a new show. In their dedication to being included in the new show, Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) and his friends must find and persuade a reclusive rock star Clay Calloway (Bono) to join them for a grand opening act. Watch the trailer below featuring the covers of the songs by Alicia Keys (Girl on Fire), U2 (I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For), Eminem (My Name Is) and more.

Cast composed of Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly and Nick Kroll returns to voice the gang of Rosita, Meena, Ash, Gunter, Johnny and joined by Halsey (Porsha Crystal), Pharrell (Alfonso), Nick Offerman, Letitia Wright, Eric Andre, and Chelsea Peretti.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME movie review

The epic battle of the Avengers and the mad titan Thanos, and Marvel's 10 year saga comes to an end, Avengers: Endgame's 3hrs and 5mins length is not even noticeable for all the action and contents.


With the remaining allies to restore and protect the universe's order, we are presented with amazing scenes and points that will make us excited for the upcoming chapters of our mightiest heroes. The first part were so fast paced but then redeemed each scene along the story and you really have to pay attention on everything that's happening. Pee time wouldn't even come into consideration while watching the movie.

Still containing a good balance of drama, comedy and action mix, Avengers: Endgame would be the benchmark of all movies in the MCU. I can't wait to see how the stories will unfold for our heroes in the MCU's phase 4. It has lots of great surprises and awesome concepts that has put me at the edge of my seat and will be remembered for a long time.


Avengers assemble!

I can understand why the Avengers will be this generation's defining story that has opened our doors for everyone to the amazing comic world. I will be forever be thankful of Stan Lee, the Russo brothers, along with the cast, especially Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Tom Holland, and all the cast that have been with us for the past 10 years. You will be forever in our hearts, whether we meet you or not, I'm actually sad putting those words here but I hope you all feel the same thing. We love you 3000.

THE AVENGERS movie review

it was just really exciting scene after scene watching the collective Avengers in one screen. Thor, Ironman, Captain America, Black Widow, the Incredible Hulk, Hawkeye and Nick Fury giving us a serving of what they can do in the (hopefully) first installment of The Avengers by Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures.
even not as a comic fan, i just enjoyed the whole movie with all those not-Michael Bay blasts and action. the more interesting execution of the characters by Robert Downey, Jr. (Ironman) and Chris Evans (Captain America) is that in spite of their superhero abilities, the more human persona gets out of their wits. even gods Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) were even deceived by the earthlings in their stay. the mission is to acquire the Tesseract, a strong mineral from space capable of producing power for living or to destroy. aimed to be protected by S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), he secretly forms a plan of bringing together incredible humans to resist evil plans when the Tesseract was acquired by other individuals.
my only thing from the promotions and movies produced that Black Widow and Hawkeye were not given as equal billing like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the Hulk which weve known the origins from previous movies. but they were given equal shining opportunities throughout the movie. what i mean are the stunts and fighting techniques that they all used. everything is super though maintained to be human: Hawkeye recycles his arrows, Captain America and Tony Stark's funny dialogue and the Hulk -- just smashes! Mark Ruffalo, by the way, did a splendid job on the character. even the graphic Hulk is incredibly fascinating, the closest modifications to Mark's face.
seeing it in 3D is ok with those pointing things coming out of the screen. you can maximize the great movie experience with the good quality of sound from the cinema. but all in all, the movie isn't too stressing from all the blasts and violence. but parental guidance is still recommended.
